About Yarden

Yarden Frankl is an avid blogger, biker and runner, though not necessarily at the same time or in that order. He is the Special Media Projects Manager for HonestReporting. He lives in Neve Daniel, Israel with his family, bikes, and dog.

In June of 2011, his wife Stella (Tzuriya Kochevet Bat Sarah) was diagnosed with late stage stomach cancer. For two and a half years she battled the disease always with a smile on her face, never giving up hope. She never complained about being sick, only that she was "putting her family and friends through such turmoil."

In November 2011, Yarden rode his bike through the night, riding 220 kilometers around Gush Etzion and Jerusalem to raise funds for the Gush Etzion Foundation Health Fund which paid for part of her treatment. In November of 2012, Yarden rode again through the night from the Hermon Mountain to Neve Daniel, 267 kilometers, to raise funds to renovate the chemotherepy room at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, where Stella received treatment.

She passed away at home on the 11th day of the Jewish month of Kislev (November 14, 2013.)

This blog is dedicated to all those in "Stella's Army" who prayed hard for her and then continue to help the Frankl family in so many ways after she passed away.

This blog is also dedicated to all those battling cancer right now.
